12.5% ABV and light bodied, but this is serious and complex, not a glou glou situation. Cherry cough syrup, garrigue (or should I say chaparral?), a kind of wild mustiness, and some smoke. I honestly wonder if the smoke is light smoke taint, but it works. Impressive wine, especially considering the price point.

Iron, violets, herbs. Savory, very dry, and no new oak flavors. Typical of Syrah. I might have guessed Northern Rhone if served blind. Very good.
